On my yard. Anyone recommend a good leaf blower? I want electric, doesn't have to be the best just good.
 
I've got a Stihl backpack blower that I've had for going on 15 years with ZERO issues. It blew the spots off the neighbors Dalmatian once... molaugh
 
At my work we use DeWalt 20 volt blowers. Got several 40 volt also but 20's do a nice job. We are blowing dust but the get used daily. Very light and seem durable.

I know you said electric but that cordless is nice. I have a cheap $25 Walmart electric blower that I've had for several years and is nice but it's a pain to drag cord around.
 
I've noticed since being in Birmingham the last few years... someone is blowing leaves in RiverChase EVERY day... I realize it's easy, but does no one collect leaves anymore?! They blow the same damned leaves out of the road EVERY day. Rake them bishes up and burn'em! Done.

My friends dad picked up a 18v Makita blower a few weeks ago and that thing really surprised me. Definitely going to get one for myself. While searching for them, I saw they have one that takes 2 18v batteries. Way more than what I need but still cool.

We had a old corded one growing up and dragging 150' of cord around the yard was not worth it. I used it to blow of the driveway sometimes but I would rather use a rake in the yard.

Currently have a Husky backpack blower. It hasn't been used much at all and sits for months sometimes without being cranked. Every time I get it out it fires up with a few pulls.

Electric = FAIL

Get a good Stihl back pack blower if you want to move some leaves. Mine was $300 back in the fall of 2007. I haven't done **** to it, and it still works great.

Thats because every dipshit landscaper here blows leaves in the fawking street, my neighbors landscaper does that and I blow all that **** back in their yard. Hey I know, lets blow these leaves in the street and they'll go into everybody elses yard, then we can get paid to blow them back into the street again, viscious cycle.

I bought a redmax commercial blower 5 or 6 years ago, havent done a damn thing to it but put gas in it and blow sweetgum balls out of my yard, into the street.
